Frozen McRib photo more terrifying than Stephen King

If you hadn’t noticed, McDonald’s McRib sandwich has returned, but a photo of its frozen pork patty is drawing plenty of eyes to the fast food restaurant’s hallowed limited-time offer.

The image first cropped up on Reddit when user DJDanaK, the original poster, said a friend who worked at McDonald’s snapped a shot of a box full of frozen McRib patties. The frozen patty looks very much like the bottom of my shoe.

“One reason our customers love the McRib is its fun and wonderful shape. Just like a burger patty is formed to be round and flat, we form the iconic McRib in the shape of traditional ribs. We then flash freeze the patty to seal in flavor and freshness, just like you freeze meat in your own freezer, before going to our restaurants.”
